为了弄清新干线网络延伸对日本旅游业发展的影响，本研究利用MLIT和JTA收集的统计数据，调查了东北和九州地区的旅游需求和游客行为的变化。结果表明，通过延长的新干线网络连接的城市的旅游人数显着增加。此外，铁路的运输方式份额也有明显增长。本文还以广崎市和指宿市为例，回顾了利用新干线促进旅游发展的政策。为厘清高铁与政策努力对旅游需求的影响，本研究以最小二乘法进行回归分析。模型估计结果表明，距离高铁站越近，对某一目的地的旅游需求越大。此外，还表示新干线和观光列车的同时运行将显著增加旅游需求。然而，这种影响会随着时间的推移而衰减。具体而言，虽然在第一年对旅游需求有较大影响，但在第二年这种影响变得不显著。
In order to clarify the impact of Shinkansen network extension on tourism development in Japan, this study investigates the change of tourism demand and tourist behavior in Tohoku and Kyushu Region by using statistical data collected by MLIT and JTA. The results suggest that tourism arrivals increased significantly in cities that were connected by the extended Shinkansen network. In addition, modal share of railway showed obvious increase as well. This paper also reviews the policies that have been adopted to promote tourism development by utilizing Shinkansen through a case study of Hirosaki and Ibusuki city. In order to clarify the impact of HSR and policy effort on tourism demand, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis is conducted in this study. The model estimation result suggests that the shorter distant from HSR station will result in an increase of tourism demand to a certain destination. In addition, it indicates that the simultaneously operation of Shinkansen and scenic trains will significantly increase the tourism demand. However, such influence will decay over time. Specifically speaking, although it has great influence on tourism demand in the first year, such influence becomes insignificant in the second year.
